    EDIT: Hah, this is what I get for posting before listening to the full episode. Jake came to the same conclusion haha.

     

     

    I don't know how I missed this until I heard it at the beginning of the podcast episode. Sarah Palmer says, "Your room seems different." The cashier kiiiiiiind of looks like Laura.

     

    This is probably a stretch, but with the Laura-cashier store-room connections, the jerky might be a stand-in for the picture of the angels from FWWM.

    So I may be the only person who feels this way but I am kind of annoyed of how after every episode the only thing anyone can seem to talk about is when Cooper is gonna "wake up". Sure we see bits and pieces of the man we knew during the original series and FWWM but I can only assume that he will never be the Cooper we once knew. 25 years trapped in any place would scar a person not to mention that place being the red room. In my mind Cooper has some form of PTSD from this experience and for him to simply snap out of it just wouldn't feel right. Who knows maybe I will feel differently if we see Cooper get his real body back from Mr. C.

     

    I'm not even sure what Cooper returning to his senses looks like anymore. Would it even fit? Cooper was a relentlessly positive force in the original run of the series, and he fit in because the show never felt nearly as dark as it does now. To me anyway. All I can picture is him giving Richard Horne a thumbs up after he runs over that kid. 

     

    In the absence of Cooper, I feel like we've got some great characters to take his place. I really love seeing Gordon and Albert and Bobby. And I'll feel pretty devastated for Sonny Jim and Janey-E when Dougie vanishes from their lives. I don't know. It's going to be strange.

    Man, I really didn't like this episode. Wasn't much that held my attention aside from poor Sara Palmer's bummer life.

     

    I thought the Audrey scene was pretty bad. Her performance felt really out sync with her husband. It was kind of distracting.I was never a huge Audrey fan though, so maybe that's why it didn't hold my interest.

     

    I also really didn't need to know what the Blue Rose cases meant. Felt like one of the mysteries better left a mystery. But Mark Frost is all about connecting the dots, which sometimes hits and sometimes misses.

     

    Looking forward to podcast and the discussion here. I'm hoping other folks enjoyed it and can point out all the good stuff. But hey, even I still end up not liking this episode, that's only one miss out of twelve so far. Pretty damn good ratio.

    Is it too much to ask for the hosts of a podcast about a tv show to get details about the show they're doing a podcast about right?

     

    Gretchen Hayward? Not knowing that the same deputy was in two scenes you're talking about? I'm less than 9 minutes into the episode and you're already screwing things up I noticed in one watching where I was looking at my phone half the time. 

     

    You seem like a really positive person who is fun to be around. You must have a lot of friends.

    I saw a theory on reddit that:

     

      Hide contents

    it's all cooper's dream, a battle of sorts for his soul as he's lying on the floor dying in S2E1, and honestly I could see that working in a non-linear time way rather than a literal 'it's a dream' way, but it'd be so gut-wrenching. 

     

    I really, REALLY don't think this is the case. I doubt Lynch would go back to this well again. And Frost doesn't seem like the kind of writer who is interested in that type of story. He's obsessed with bringing the pieces together, even if it means some forced connections.

    In the David Lynch documentary "The Art Life" he recounts a story of being a young boy playing with his friends outside in his nice little neighborhood in Montana. I'll probably get some of these details wrong, but I remember him mentioning seeing a naked, bloody woman walk out of the woods? out from behind some houses? and sit down on the sidewalk (maybe I'm not remembering that part right either.) Interesting to see something similar play out during this episode.

     

    Lots of things to love during this episode.

    I really appreciated the economy of the storytelling. In this episode we learn that not only is Shelly's last name Briggs, but that it also didn't work out. 

     

    Loved the totally bizarre scene that starts with the bullets whizzing into the Double R and ends with the angry/scared lady shrieking along with the car horns as her zombie daughter vomits all over and Bobby looks as dumbfounded as I felt. Also love/fear the strange little badass kid.

    I would have loved to have seen the script for this episode. 

    Was it just like 2 scenes and then in brackets [David stuff.]?

    I did laugh out loud when Nine Inch Nails was introduced. I don't know if that was meant to be taken seriously, but I just couldn't.

     

    I love that David Lynch is just getting to do what he wants. Loved the episode. Some good scares.

    Seeing David Koechner as one of the cops was kind of a trip. 

    Also, come on, Ben, you were supposed to have given up affairs and stuff. 

     

    There's lots of great comedians in bit roles this season. Stephanie Allayne was one of the interviewed people this season and Brett Gelman was the casino manager that got fired. All my comedy podcast friends are in Twin Peaks now!

    Weren't Morley's the X-Files fake brand?

    I came here to post this! A fun little bit of recursive referencing. The X-files featured many Twin Peaks cast members after Peaks wrapped up and The X-files began. And now we get this little nod. I love it.

     

    When Jacoby started livestreaming the only thing that I could think of is Chris excitedly exclaiming "Outrageous!"

    Having just watched all 4 episodes released online, I can't quite recall where the demarcation points are between episodes, so I'll just stay vague.

     

    One thing that I didn't expect to happen was to get really emotional upon seeing certain characters again. I only really got into Twin Peaks a few years ago. I didn't grow up with it like I did with say Star Wars. All the same, just like with The Force Awakens, I found myself tearing up upon seeing old favorites back. Especially the Log Lady. I also got pretty weepy when Laura and Coop share the scene in the Lodge.

     

    That's all I have for now. Episode 3 is phenomenal, mirroring season 1.
    I'm really sad that Catherine Coulson and Miguel Ferrer passed away before the show made it back to air. I'm really grateful to be getting some damn fine David Lynch in my life again.
